Well, I *think* you're using it wrong. Basically, onKeyDown allows you to override the default key behavior for whatever key is pressed. So, if you return 'true' it means that you have handled the behavior.
So, you have to provide your own code to navigate your activities/view if you are overriding. So, detect if you are in the main menu and that's the only time you'll return super.onKeyDown() (basically let it handle the keydown itself.) If it is pressed somewhere else, you have to return true and close the menu or whatever yourself.
